Hi people,

I do not seem to be able to play the filmed interviews at
www.theserverside.com with mplayer.

Here is an example:
http://www.theserverside.com/events/videos/RandyHeffner/56k/interview.html

The movie you'll get on that page is:
mms://CHICAGO130.hostj2ee.com/HEFFNER_ASF/HEFFNER_FULL_56K.ASF

I have a Gentoo Linux, with mplayer 1.0_pre2.
Trying to play the video, I get what you see at the end of this mail. 

My config:

$ cat ~/.mplayer/config
# Write your default config options here!
ao=arts,esd,oss
vo=xv,x11


Thank you for your ideas!
